  Hello,

  Whislt using autopkgtest-build-lxd, I saw that the commands started to
  hang even though the output has been generated and then crashes, for
  example:

    lxc launch ubuntu:18.04 u1 < config.yaml
        Create and start the instance with configuration from config.yaml

        --console[="console"]   Immediately attach to the console
        --empty                 Create an empty instance
    -e, --ephemeral             Ephemeral instance
    -n, --network               Network name

  Error: not found
  Timed out waiting for container to boot
  Error: not found

  $ echo $?

  So when trying to build an autopkgtest lxd container via `autopkgtest-
  build-lxd ubuntu-daily:focal/amd64`, it hangs and then crashes.

  Let me know if you need more information. TIA.
